Abstract
Let be vectors in and be independent Rademacher random variables. Then the Littlewood-Offord problem entails finding the best upper bound for . Generalizing the uniform bounds of Littlewood-Offord, Erd\H{o}s and Kleitman, a recent result of Dzindzalieta and Ju\v{s}kevi\v{c}ius provides a non-uniform bound that is optimal in its dependence on . In this short note, we provide a simple alternative proof of their result. Furthermore, our proof demonstrates that the bound applies to any norm on , not just the norm. This resolves a conjecture of Dzindzalieta and Ju\v{s}kevi\v{c}ius.
